Bing suite of apps updated for Windows Phone

Yo. Don't want to read about apps like Yo? Then you're in luck! Some of your favorite Windows Phone apps just picked up some updates. Finance, Sports, Health & Fitness, Food & Drink, News and Weather (all from Bing) just picked up some new updates on Windows Phone. It looks like Bing Travel missed being updated this round. All of these apps are community favorites, so we're excited to see what's new.

We're going to give each app a quality look and see if there's anything new (no changelogs for any of these apps). So far, nothing jumps out as brand new. Let us know if you see anything different in these apps and we'll update this post accordingly. Though you will notice a new Terms of Service when you launch the app.

Changes: Some of you are reporting that you can finally share articles via social networks in the updated Bing News app. We can't get them to appear on our apps, let us know if you see them there.

For now, you'll probably want to download the updates. Links below will direct you to the Windows Phone Store to grab them. Enjoy and keep us posted on what you find!

I hope they didn't screw this up like they did with the calendar. I love the Bing apps, great performance and amazing user experience. I just want the sports app to get a better UI but still a great app.

The 8.1 version. Remaining Bing apps update finally landed on store. All successfully updated a minute ago, weather is now 3.0.3.340 version, dated to 30-06.14 (I checked this because I was hopping for transparent live tile, but no luck)...

Weather App has a problem on my 1520. As soon as I select maps, it attempts to refresh, then goes straight to a solid grey screen and becomes unresponsive. Have to quit app. Solidly reproducible every time.

Reading list support please. Also, the Health and Fitness (not sure about the others) crashes after being in suspended in the background for a long time. Need to navigate to the exercise of my choice all the way back again. Also, all apps need to slowly start migrating to the WinRT appx model. They seem to have better performance than Silverlight based ones (do correct me if wrong) and one needn't download the whole app just for a small bug fix.

My calendar now crashes when I try to update or add appointments manually. Cortana can still add appointments but can't change them. Come on Microsoft, you're suppose to be improving these apps, not destroying them.

Disappointed that the Food & Drink app still doesn't sync collections across devices, although at least it now tells you as much in a message on the Add Collections page rather than leaving people to waste as much time as I have trying to figure out why it's not working. Until this feature is added I don't really have much use for it.

The original installment of Food & Drink clearly stated that you could sync between apps. It hasn't ever done so and I have ranted on and on about this. Well, it appears that along with this update MSFT has changed their description to now state "While collections are not synced across devices" Well at least that is cleared up and I won't waste anymore of my time with it. Overall still a good app though.
